      Description: I dont understand the purpose of the Shell and Command module section in Chapter 9 section on "Managing the Boot Process and Scheduled Processes" (p381-382).
      They appear to be snippets from DO447 without all the intro and explanation.

      Suddenly you are introducing a new filter (quote) - do this back with filters instead of (or in addition) to the to_json stuff. I dont understand how it fits with at. cron, and reboot.

      The command module args example is also confusing. The callout description reads:
      You can pass arguments into the form to provide the options.

      Then you look at ansible_env sublist of facts (having never introduced limiting facts yes - there is some of that with storage later) and then the callout introduces a new lookup syntax which is more about lookup controller variables rather than managed node variables...

      This part needs more explanation or to just be dropped. - Is it even relevant to the GE?
